Last week I went to our local Z dealer and picked up a Remedy, awesome. The thing sound wonderful, but right now I'm running it through the V30 in my HRD. I want to get a nice cab for it and was looking for some suggestions on speakers. I generally listen to fusion, Herring, Henderson, and Landau are my big ones right now. Any suggestions are welcome though, I don't have a lot of experience with different speakers and brands.
Also, the cleans in this thing are so much better then I thought they would be. I can't wait to get it cranked up and hear that wonderfully harmonic drive.

Nice So, is this the new 2013 model with the bypass and master volume (Im not even sure they are shippingyet?) I'm sure there are a few people around here looking for some feedback on the new upgrades for 2013! Congrats on the amp. I love my Remedy for cleans. Keith

I should have mentioned, this is not the new model. I'm kind of digging it as is, though I think a boost on it would be pretty cool. I don't think volume would be an issue, so I'm not sure I would even go for the master volume mod. It definitely has its own voice. I wanted something that the 6L6 sound that I liked but had "more" of everything. This thing ate my HRD's lunch. You can hear ever little nuance of your fingers when playing though it.

There are no flies on the old model I don't play out, so I'm confined to my basement. However, I love the amp as a clean/crunch amp anyway and I never get it into the upper ranges of crunch. I find you can get many shades of clean between 9:00 and 11:00 on the dials and by varying the different volumes. Mine will not be upgraded with the mods Keith

I use mine clean as well. Just got the Celestion Creamback after hearing so many of the guys on here raving about it with the Rem. They were right. More balanced than the V30 and less efficient, which helps tame down the volume of the Rem.....plus it's a little lighter in weight. Highly recommended.

Congrats on choosing an AWESOME amp! Also, well spotted in noticing how superb the cleans are on this baby - everyone talks about the "cranked Marshall Plus" tones, and they're right, but the cleans are glorious too Everyone raves about the Celestion Creamback. Haven't played one, but I do have the Celestion G12 65, and that is fabulous with the Remedy! Enjoy, and welcome to the forum too Pete

Welcome to the forum. Yeah, I have the Creamback, a Celestion Gold, as well as a 2x10 cab with a Weber Blue Pup and Silver 10. At twenty watts the Remedy sounds glorious through all of them but the Gold is definately made for BIG venues and chime (and 40 watts). The Creamback sounds great at 20 or 40 watts and the 10's give up the goods sooner (haven't tried 40 watts yet). I know Henderson used to use 10's, Kendricks I believe, and Herring uses 4 Tone Tubby 10's, so you may just have to get yerself 2 different cabs - nuthin wrong with that!

Thank for all the input guys. Seems like the Creamback has been getting a lot of love, that one's definitely on my list. I was also thinking about keeping it old school and going Greenback, too many choices.
I think I'm going to have to go with "Z" Steve's idea and getting a couple.
